Life is a balancing act. We dance between our personal needs and desires and the needs and desires of others. And that dance is thrust in the spotlight when in the throws of a new relationship.
It is not just a question of learning someone else’s rhythm. It is actually an opportunity to listen more deeply to your own. How much connection? How much separateness? How much time do you spend in connection when you are actually feeling separate and how much time, when you are apart, do you remain feeling connected?
The older I get, I find that the physical space between seldom defines things. Its kind of like feeling alone in a crowded room. Or feeling close to someone when they are not even in the same town.
So when I say that I need space, what am I really saying? Is it on the physical level, or just in my head, or…….?
Just some musings for the night. Space, connection, space, connection, space. Just now.
